He was the son of Jacopo Bellini, an esteemed painter at the time, and probably began his career along side his brother as an assistant in his father’s workshop.

    Comedy, it’s life changing. We envision ourselves in a world full of the things that make us laugh and cry tears of joy. The intention for one to laugh is what makes things comedic, although it can be found where we least expect it to. Who would’ve thought that in the 1600’s, comedy would come from a script for a play written by Shakespeare.

    in all three storylines. Several times throughout the play, Bottom’s arrogance is highlighted. Bottom believes that he is a very good actor and director, even better than the others performing and directing the play as can be seen when Bottom tells Quince to let him play more characters in the play and when he says that the play has “things that will never please […and has] a device to make all well” (III. i. 5-8). Shakespeare also portrays Bottom as being very foolish. He even makes it a point

    During research for part one of this assignment, I discovered that Māori adults are 3.8 times more likely to be incarcerated than non-Māori. They are also 3.9 times more likely to be convicted of a crime. Quince (2012) states that Māori are over-criminalized, not only due to committing crimes, but due to being subject to over-surveillance.
